[Open]: Banner Competition
Well, you lucky people. Those of you who wish to get involved, now have the chance. We're throwing down the gauntlet. Show us that you're the pride of [subject home town here].
Here's the challenge. We need a new website banner for a(our) site re-design. Our team lack enough webdesigners, so, for a prize of 100,000 Crogge's coins for the winning entry, we offer you the chance to submit a new website banner.
Here are the guidelines. The banner is to fit a dark theme, it doesn't have to be specifically WoW related, but it does have to be CroggesServer related. The banner should be wide enough to fit a 1920 pixel wide screen, but bear in mind that css will be used to "trim" the banner down to fit smaller screens by chopping off the right hand side of the banner. Therefore, obviously, nothing important should be on that side of the banner.
Any additional graphics are also welcome. We need everything from navbars to buttons and probably also use the design for the forum and other services. This will ofcourse be rewarded with extra coins.
Under no circumstances should you use any official World of Warcraft graphics. This includes the World of Warcraft logo. The banner should be entirely your own creation. If you are going to use 3d models etc. from Deviantart. Make sure to ask the artist before submitting your banner! If you happen to be a 3d artist yourself then you are free to use them in your banner. We only accept banners in .psd format. The reason why we want them in psd is so we can edit it to fit to the website.
Upon entering the competition, you also agree to the following:
* The winner, upon being awarded the prize, agrees to cede all copyrights to the banner and/or associated logo and/or any additional graphics submitted, to Mr. Markus Klimt.
* If you are unwilling to cede the copyrights, then your entry cannot be accepted.
This might sound harsh, but we've had people in the past create artwork for us, then for one reason or another, try and "revoke" our rights to use it. Therefore these two clauses are to protect us from that kind of event.
There will also be an extra reward for those who come up with a good Logo design. The reward will be 200,000 Crogge coins and our gratitude. Please create the logo as "vector" graphic so it can be scaled afterwards.
Think you're up to the challenge?
Get drawing then. Post your submissions on this thread.
The prize for the banner is currently set at 100,000 coins (we may decide to increase it if the banner is exceptionally good).
The prize for an optional logo is currently set at 200,000 coins (again, we may decide to increase this for good work).
The prize for a full website design is currently set at 200,000 coins (we request a full template in this case)
There will be NO chatter on the Banner Submissions thread, just banners. Any one spamming will be forum-banned for 1 week. Artists may comment on their own banners, but no other comments please. For those who want to discus the banner or have any questions, please use the discussion thread.
